There is a guy nearby me selling what he says is side exhaust for a 68. It got me curious if this was in fact an option in 68? I don't think I have ever seen it before.

Perhaps he is confusing the Corvette and the Camaro. No side pipes on a Camaro.

Side pipes came on the 1970 Baldwin-Motion Camaro.

way back in the ollllld days there was an aftermarket company that made them for first gens. hooker comes to mind but i may be wrong. a complete set-up on ebay goes for big dollars.

In the early 70's almost everyone was putting them on! :) Except me.

He didn't specify 'sidepipes', just side exhaust. Seller could be refering to side exit exhaust, which also wasn't a factory option.

Here is my 1st 69 Camaro with hooker sidemount system. I really miss those :(

Hooker still makes sidemounts for a small block first gen.

A guy in my club had some made to mimick the first gen trans am look. Maybe that's more what he's referring to? They were LOUD...:D

Looks like around $550 for black Hooker sidemount headers (http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/ES/ESHHSCH/Sidemnt.html) and a set of slip-in mufflers. Wish I had a modified car, I would put these back on! :hurray:
